Daemon, Piscodaemon (3pp)

This large creature resembles a bipedal lobster with long, gangly arms that end in powerful pincers. It has a short fish-like tail on its posterior and a centipede-like head with several small tentacles located just beneath its mouth.

Piscodaemons are found throughout the Lower Planes bullying and killing weaker creatures. They are often themselves used as cannon fodder or slaves by the more powerful races of the Lower Planes, particularly the arcanadaemons.

A typical piscodaemon stands about 7 feet tall and weigh 200 pounds. A piscodaemon often opens combat with its spell-like abilities, usually using stinking cloud against its foes. It then moves in and slashes and rakes with its claws. If the piscodaemon can grab a foe, it hangs on and constricts.

A piscodaemon’s natural weapons, as well as any weapons he wields, are treated as evil-aligned for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.
